K J Smith Solicitors

The receptionist was delightful, beautiful place of business, charming greeting and welcome by a lovely gentleman and superb customer care, advice and support by a fabulous lady Solicitor. Thank you for your assistance and time ‘KJ Smith’ I found your establishment and team to be absolutely fantastic. Thank you.

Dan Norris had £12k put in his account to use. He prolonged correspondence and did not fact check any information given to him. Wasted the funds and would not detail how it was spent. Ongoing complaint currently with the ombudsman and resolution. Avoid this company.

Recently, my mother and I met with solicitor Daniel Norris from KJ smiths and Barrister Tracey At her Chamber No18 regarding a family law matter. Over the two meetings we had with them, they were very professional and offered honest advice and reassurance, in an extremely caring and friendly manner. We were able to come away from the final meeting with confidence that should we require further help in the future that they would be there to continue their support. We would strongly recommend both of these professionals for the law services they provide.

I am deeply disappointed with the service provided by Kate Evans at KJ Smith Solicitors and would strongly advise avoiding the Oxford branch altogether. Even in urgent situations, there are far better solicitors available locally. Her case management is non-existent. Her legal knowledge appears largely theoretical, with no meaningful engagement or ability — or willingness — to apply it to the realities of a complex case. She is comfortable producing lengthy but basic emails at £260 + VAT per hour, yet that is essentially all that is offered. She charged £2,500 to read a court bundle and answer six questions in writing. However, after the initial consultation, I was never offered another in-person meeting, solely because I had not signed a full retainer. Unless you commit thousands more upfront, meaningful engagement appears to be off the table. To be clear, I can read, write, complete court forms, and conduct legal research myself. What I was paying for was professional guidance, strategic case management, and experienced direction. Instead, I received generic written responses, no discussion, no practical advice, and no sense of ownership of the case. Overall, the service provided barely qualifies as a professional service at all. With sufficient time, online resources, and AI support, the same level of information can be obtained independently. I awarded two stars solely for the effort of drafting lengthy emails. Beyond that, I received no significant value, no support, and no professional engagement.

I would like to thank Lydia for her support on the first visit. I was very worried and scared and I did not know what to expect. Lydia was very empathetic and validated my experience, I felt fully understood and supported. I gathered lots of information, which Lydia presented in a very professional and clear way. I was also given different options and thanks to Lydia I am now much more confident about my next steps. Thank you so much, Lydia, that consultation was a light at the end of the tunnel. I highly recommend Lydia!

Aaron is a very good solicitor. He helped me get through my case. At the end, I got a very good outcome and result. He was helpful and I felt supported by him.

KJ Smith Solicitors have been with me every step of the way throughout my very difficult divorce. Their team, particularly Amber and Aaron, have provided immeasurable support and advice; I could not be more grateful. I highly recommend KJ Smith Solicitors to anyone about to enter the world of Family Law.

Robyn was excellent. Direct, forthright, challenging and focussed. What you need in divorce to cut away the nonsense and get to the deal. Very professional.

Sofie was very helpful in helping me through the painful process of divorce. After our initial meeting she answered all my subsequent questions promptly and assisted me with filling in and checking quite complex forms. I would use K J Smith for further work if needed.
